Kintetsu Railway’s Yoshino lines have 4 seasons of flowers planted alongside the train route, offering each season’s seasonal flowers for passengers to enjoy throughout the whole ride.

In April when the cherry blossoms are in full bloom, the beautiful sight of pink cherry blossoms can be viewed right from the window of the Kintetsu train.🌸

We have witnessed the whole view of Mount Yoshino painted in pink color of cherry blossoms, as the word says “A thousand trees at once”. While the scenery is truly amazing, experiencing these sceneries throughout the train journey is fantastic.
